Chapter 98 Suspected Main Person
Let me see: [I've compiled all the pictures I took and recorded today about Fu Yanle's boyfriend here. Can any of you sisters piece them together to make him look like a complete person? (Frustrated)]
[I only just realized it myself... The ladies there were so inconsiderate! Didn't your boyfriends take off their masks and kiss? Didn't any of you take a picture?!]
Those recording the video stood opposite the guests to avoid letting all the fans into the frame. When my boyfriend kissed Xiao Fu, we were all stunned. By the time we realized what was happening, he had already put his mask back on. (kneeling)
[Watching this kiss up close, I really wanted to recreate the scene in my head, but unfortunately, I don't have the ability. Why don't you guys take my brain and study it? (scratching head)]
[Catch those up close! Tell us what Xiao Fu's boyfriend looks like!]
"Is that even a question?" Fu Yanle took a sip of milk. "My boyfriend is, of course, a beauty that could shame the moon, make the flowers blush, make the fish sink, and make the geese fall from the sky!"
Yu Jingchen said in the bathroom, "I'll sign you up for a basic language class tomorrow."
"No!" Fu Yanle rolled over, straightened his legs, pressed them together against the wall, and continued reading the comments.
[I can't even describe it! Let me just say: handsome, extremely handsome, I've never seen anyone so handsome in my life! And physical appearance is just the surface, the most important thing is the aura! Look at that aura and presence, every move he makes exudes a noble air that is different from us mere mortals! In short, everyone can rest assured, the two of them are a perfect match. Xiao Fu's radiance and brightness are completely overshadowed by her boyfriend; she looks especially delicate, while her boyfriend has the aura of a total domineering CEO!]
"Delicate?" Fu Yanle said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you putting one down to praise another? I can agree with praising your strong and assertive personality, but why do you call me delicate!"
“I think she’s right.” Yu Jingchen walked to the bedside, knelt on one knee, hugged Fu Yanle’s leg, turned it half a circle like a millstone, and then took Fu Yanle’s foot.
"Is it cold if you stick it on the wall?"
"Cold!" Fu Yanle mischievously stuffed his toes into Yu Jingchen's clothes and gently rubbed them against Yu Jingchen's abs.
Yu Jingchen covered his foot and gave him a half-smile.
Fu Yanle pretended not to see it and continued browsing Weibo.
The talented commenters created various comical images of Yu Jingchen, making him look crooked and distorted, which amused Fu Yanle greatly. He saved some particularly funny and unflattering photos, made several memes of Yu Jingchen, and then stored them on his phone.
[Help! Will Xiao Fu laugh himself silly when he sees these photos?]
[Boyfriend: Do you guys think you're funny? I haven't offended you, why are you doing this?!]
[Hahaha, it's a huge loss for the Photoshop world that you guys haven't entered the mainstream!]
Stop laughing, check the trending topics, the person in question has appeared!
What the hell? Fu Yanle glanced at Yu Jingchen, who was sitting opposite him playing a puzzle game. Wasn't the main character right here? What the hell is trending on Weibo?!
He rushed to the scene of the incident.
The trending topic, presumably referring to the person in question, was still at the bottom of the list. Clicking through, I found it was an unfamiliar celebrity who had posted a photo of the starry sky with the caption: "[Joy. (Rose.jpg)]"
Fu Yanle glanced at the celebrity's name: Ji Chen.
At this point, Fu Yanle couldn't figure anything out until he clicked into the comments section.
[I searched for your stills from the drama. Are you Fu Yanle's boyfriend?]
Fu Yanle clicked on the picture of the back view and found that Ji Chen's height was quite similar, and he was indeed tall, but objectively speaking, in terms of physique and temperament, they were far from alike. He scrolled down and found that the top comments were all saying they looked alike, and some even claimed to be his brother-in-law on the spot as fans!
[Apart from height and gender, nothing matches...]
Are those who say it looks similar lying through their teeth? Or are they just paid trolls and haters, itching to get some attention?
[Please, it's not us who said they looked alike, it's your fans who were identifying him everywhere! We're just nobodies, how could we be worthy of a big star? Please, fans, leave us alone, don't insult our idol, he's already pretty obscure.]
[We're only criticizing you to get attention; otherwise, with your brother's looks and intelligence, it'd be hard for him to become famous. Your brother is trying to take the "black-and-red" route, isn't he? We're helping him out, why aren't you grateful?]
The screen was filled with a strange, sarcastic, tea-like atmosphere. Fu Yanle scratched his head and lay down on the pillow.
[Guys, I did some research, and this Ji Chen is practically a nobody in the industry, but he suddenly trended on Weibo twice today. The first time was this still of his back view from the show, which went viral about half an hour ago, with tons of fans praising him, but it disappeared shortly after. Then this trending topic appeared right after, and it was all about "Xiao Fu's fans"—what kind of crazy stunt is this? I don't need to explain, right?]
"Yes." Fu Yanle sighed. "Brother Chen, why would a nobody like him choose the path of becoming famous through controversy?"
"Because topics generate buzz. Netizens are driven by curiosity. By capitalizing on their curiosity and creating topics that spark discussion or even insults, you can gather buzz and establish a brand for yourself." Yu Jingchen pinched Fu Yanle's foot. "In the entertainment industry, it's common to associate yourself with another high-profile celebrity to gain attention. High-profile celebrities bring their own topics and traffic, and they also tend to have more haters. These haters are free help for those trying to ride the coattails of someone else's popularity."
“I understand. But…” Fu Yanle scratched his head, “Isn’t this too risky? Am I not standing high enough? Would he dare to poop in front of my door?”
Yu Jingchen said, "Let me see."
"Oh, here you go." Fu Yanle handed over the phone, then took Yu Jingchen's phone to help him get through.
Yu Jingchen quickly glanced at the comments, then picked up his tablet and sent a message to the person in charge of the relevant department at Yaoguang.
After Fu Yanle spent money to get through this level, Yaoguang sent a message.
Mr. Yu's trusted aide, Number 9: [Mr. Yu, I checked, and it's definitely self-promotion. This Ji Chen has been in the industry for almost five years and has never been popular. He finally landed a leading role in a period drama, but someone else snatched it away. His modern fantasy drama from last year is also being shelved and probably won't air. He's probably so desperate for fame that he's trying to walk a tightrope by playing the sweet and cute Fu Shao.]
[Understood, thank you for your hard work.]
Yu Jingchen put down his tablet and returned to Weibo. He found that Fu Yanle's fans had already dominated the comments section of the trending topic, their fighting power not to be underestimated. Ji Chen's fans, on the other hand, were using highly consistent rhetoric, brewing a screen full of low-quality, unpleasant content, thanks to their strength and strategy.
Fu Yanle glanced at Yu Jingchen out of the corner of her eye and noticed that he looked unwell, so she carefully moved her foot and rubbed against Yu Jingchen's chest.
Yu Jingchen was aroused by this, a mixture of lust and desire burning within him. He suddenly leaned down and pinned Fu Yanle beneath him, his voice hoarse as he asked, "What are you doing?"
“I think you’re burning with rage,” Fu Yanle said, grabbing his phone. “So I’m patting you to put out the fire.”
"I think you're just adding fuel to the fire." Yu Jingchen bit Fu Yanle's lips, reached for his phone and put it aside, then rolled Fu Yanle around and slammed him hard onto the pillow.
Fu Yanle clutched his collar and obediently accepted the kiss. Yu Jingchen's breath tasted of rose green tea, refreshing yet with a hint of rose fragrance, which was particularly pleasant. Fu Yanle was immersed in the kiss, and his hands restlessly slipped inside Yu Jingchen's clothes.
"...What are you touching?" Yu Jingchen released him, threatening in a low voice, "Did I tell you to touch me?"
Fu Yanle glared and said angrily, "I not only touched, I also pinched!" After saying that, he pinched Yu Jingchen lightly.
Yu Jingchen pressed his hand down and said, "Why not make it official?"
Fu Yanle was bewildered, "Didn't I already make it official?"
“What I mean is, why don’t we let them know my name?” Yu Jingchen said. “They only know that Brother Chen is your boyfriend, they don’t know that Yu Jingchen is your boyfriend.”
“I want to protect your privacy! I noticed that you never show your face in previous interviews, and searching your name online only yields text information, not a single photo, so I don’t want to disrupt that sense of privacy.” Fu Yanle kissed Yu Jingchen’s chin. “Did you think I didn’t want to reveal your name?”
Yu Jingchen said with a half-smile, "I haven't thought that way. There's still some trust between us."
Fu Yanle chuckled and said, "Although my fans are quite aggressive online, they all have boundaries and generally won't ambush me offline. Even if they take a picture of me, they won't post it immediately and expose my whereabouts, so I'm not worried about them. But don't underestimate paparazzi, haters, and stalkers."
He curled his lip in disdain. "They really do follow you everywhere you go. When I first moved, someone followed my car every day. Don't think I didn't know. So if I reveal your name, they might be lying in wait outside the Zongchen Building to secretly film you and stalk you!"
“You’re insulting three types of people with that statement: the building’s security guards, my driver, and me.” Yu Jingchen pinched Fu Yanle’s cheek. “Do you think the security guards are just there to coast? The driver is just an ordinary driver? Or do you think I’m some kind of complete idiot with no self-defense skills or awareness of self-preservation? Hmm?”
Fu Yanle was speechless and could only chuckle awkwardly.
Yu Jingchen was both annoyed and found Fu Yanle's smile incredibly cute. He couldn't help but bite Fu Yanle's puffed-up cheek and said through gritted teeth, "Go and officially announce it for me right now, strictly following my format—'My boyfriend, Yu Jingchen.' Don't guess anyone else. I'm his. These words are essential. You can improvise the rest."
“Let’s post it tomorrow morning. We have important business to attend to right now.” Fu Yanle hooked his arm around Yu Jingchen’s waist and flipped him over, switching their positions. He pressed his hand against Yu Jingchen’s chest and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Now that your identity is out there, people will probably think you’re my sugar daddy again.”
Yu Jingchen tugged at his shirt hem and said ambiguously, "If you want to experience what it's like if I were the sugar daddy and you were a kept girl star, I can let you try it too."
"I won't experience it!" Fu Yanle hurriedly lifted his leg to run away, but Yu Jingchen grabbed him and pulled him onto his body.
The two rolled over once.
"Why are you running?" Yu Jingchen pinched him. "Want me to experience it?"
Fu Yanle reached out Er Kang's helpless hand, "Don't treat me like this!"
Goodness, that half-smile, half-suppressed expression, he's definitely angry!
That damned Ji Chen, I'll show you off tomorrow!
The pillow under Fu Yanle was knocked askew.
Author's Note:
Da Yu'er: I'll show off to you first.
